Joe Odendahl

With more than two decades in the construction and remodeling industry, Joe has developed a unique perspective on the vast amount of useful materials that end up in landfills. This concern is what led him to enter the dumpster rental industry, with an early focus on recycling window glass.

In 2021, Joe founded American Dumpster Rental and Recycling to explore new approaches and innovate local waste-handling practices. He believes that anyone working in this field must be efficient across all three phases of waste management: reuse, recycling, and responsible disposal. This commitment to comprehensive waste solutions is also why Joe volunteers his time with the Solid Waste Association of North America, the Recycling Association of Minnesota, and now the Reuse Minnesota board of directors.

Joe is continually learning and is dedicated to finding new, practical solutions for material handling—solutions that help people and keep useful materials out of the ground.
